TheMalibuCrew.com is under a DDOS attack. We are working with the Host to get it solved. We are trying several different approaches and as of now the host has pulled the server offline. We appreciate your patience and we will be back ASAP.

Well it turns out that I do have an account here, didn't realize that.

DDOS has risen sharply over the past 6 months. Who knows why we were targeted, but the attacks are coming from many different countries, not just China. At this point all we can do is wait it out, since we don't have the resources to really fight it, not an attack of this magnitude. So hang tight, & hope that these knuckleheads get bored with our little corner of the internet & decide to go bully someone else soon.

So how do you know when it's over? Even though the site is down, the server still shows a large amount of traffic?

Can probably see traffic still hitting the ip of the site in the intrusion detection device or firewall. I would not think they would lose any data just by taking it off the Internet (essentially, just unplugging the network cable or closing the port in the firewall).

They should be able to change the IP address, update DNS record, and bring the site up. I am sure they are verifying that nothing on the server is infected or compromised before doing so.

Hey guys,
I've set up a Facebook page for us so that we don't continue to use the resources & garner attention away from this site's focus. Here's the link: Malibu Crew Facebook Page. Everyone can view it (FB member or not) so we'll keep that page updated. And of course FB members will be able to post & send us messages, & if you LIKE the page then you'll receive automatic updates.

To the mods/admins here, a very heartfelt thank you for giving us a place to regroup while we circle the wagons. This is one thing that makes the boating community so great. Thank you so much.

I hear you. I know what it's like to get attacked like that and it's not pretty. Luckily, I was able to pin down what I did to piss them off, so hit me up if you're not sure why you were victimized. Maybe I can help.

We've got access to our files we are uploading them and hoping this will resolve the issue we are having. There is a informational page setup at themalibucrew.com but the database isn't fully uploaded yet.
